You may try to serialize the data to a std::vector. See here for how to write a ostream with std::vector: http://www.boost.org/libs/iostreams/doc/tutorial/container_sink.html Regards, Lirong --- Srikanth Rao wrote:

Hi,

I saw a mail from you to the group. I have a similar issue but I need to send the serialized data on the network.

After serializing to a stream, can I get the buffer?

How? TIA, Sri.
